Students and staff at St. Charles College are anxiously awaiting the return of fellow Cardinal Quinton Byfield, who recently won a gold medal as a member of Team Canada at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championships.
Byfield, who plays for the Sudbury Wolves and attends St. Charles College, reunites with his Wolves teammates briefly before departing for the CHL Top Prospect game along with fellow St. Charles student Jack Thompson.
This game showcases the top NHL Draft eligible talent from across the OHL, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Western Hockey League with hundreds of scouts in attendance.
“It has been an unbelievable opportunity to have such a talented athlete in our school and community,” said Byfield's teacher, Kirsty Hebert.
“Quinton has added so much to our programs, bringing a plethora of hockey knowledge and skill. As part of the leadership class, he has mentored Mrs. Fowke’s Grade 1 students at Holy Trinity Elementary school as well as here at St. Charles College in our Life Skills program.
“He has made many connections to students and has been an outstanding role model; we couldn’t be more pleased for Quinton and his recent success at the World Juniors!”
